What is the difference between AIX 6L and AIX 6.1?

Are AIX 6.1 and AIX 6L different?

I am installing an Oracle client on AIX 6.1
Oracle� Database

Section 4.3 talks about Oracle patches needed for AIX 6L. I have AIX 6.1

I wonder if this section is applicable to 6.1 also or not!
Help!

AIX 6, 6L and 6.1 are all names for the same thing.
AIX version 6 was first released at release level 1, hence the 6.1
The 6L, like the former 5L refers to the Linux afinity and is little more than a marketing name for AIX 6.
